More than two-out-of-three Americans are now aware that Small Business Saturday is a day devoted to shopping and dining small. This special occasion will amplify the lifeblood of our economy.

Now in its fifth year, Small Business Saturday has become a critical day on the calendar for entrepreneurs to grow their customer base.

Along with an exciting day of shopping, dine small on this “Small Business Saturday Night.” This year, SBA is partnering with the National Restaurant Association, to promote our local restaurants. Eating out on Small Business Saturday will emphasize the accomplishments of small business restaurants across the Country, while encouraging consumers to patronize eateries in their neighborhoods.

Nine-out-of-ten restaurants have less than 50 employees, and 80 percent of restaurant owners start their careers in entry-level positions. That’s why this movement is an important new way to support our hard working food proprietors, who give America’s Main Street the tastes we love.

The partnership will amplify restaurants during the National push to support small businesses, on the busiest shopping weekend of the year.
